HELP THIS IS DUE TOMORROW!!!!

Since the fourth quarter of 2014, the flash storage capacity of smartphones has grown by approximately 12 gigabytes a year. The average flash storage in 2014 was 15.9 gigabytes.

a. Write an equation to represent this situation , defining both variables .

b . Assuming the trend continues , write a one - varia equation that can be used to find the average f storage capacity of smartphones in 2025 .

C. Solve your equation from Part B.

D. Interpret the solution

Answer 1

A. c = 15.9 + 12(y - 2014)

B. c = 15.9 + 12(2025 - 2014)

C. 147.9 gigabytes

D. Unsure what you meant

Explanation:

A. In this equation, 'c' represents the flash storage capacity in year 'y' and '15.9' is the flash storage capacity in year 2014. '12' represents the yearly increase in storage and '(y-2014)' represents how many years have passed from 2014.

B.To find the average flash storage capacity of smartphones in 2025, we can use the equation:

c = 15.9 + 12(y - 2014)

We can substitute 'y' with 2025 in the above equation to find the average flash storage capacity of smartphones in 2025

C.

c = 15.9 + 12(2025 - 2014)

c = 15.9 + 12(11)

c = 15.9 + 132

c = 147.9 gigabytes
